An Insane WOman's Strength.

"One of the most striking things
about insanity is the wonderful strength
of the lunatics," said an ex-employe
of the Buffalo state insane asylum
while detailing his experience with the
demented. One day 1 was assisting to
carry trunk through one of the wards
when a little woman patient laid hold
of my coat and expressed tho intention
of putting me in the trunk. tried to
pull away but her delicate hand held
on with an iron grip Force was the
only alternative Of remaining there un-
til some other whim took possession of
her, SO we resorted to muscular per-
suasion. Would you believe that it
took three strong men and one woman
to make her let gop We pulled her
slender fingers back one by one. each
man clinging to 9 single finger, until
finally the parting of the thumb and
first finger released the garment. To
bend back a single finger was like
bending heavy telegraph wire. 1t
appears as though lunatic has the
power of concentrating all his strength
in single part of the body at the ex-
pense Of other portions in a manner
impossible to rational person. ."-Baf-
falo Courier.

WaterprOofs For Fishes.

But did you ever see woman fish?
[ don't mean a female fish, but a wo-
man in the aot of fishing. If she's got
to go out to get paper of pins or a
yard of ribbon when it is wet she'll load
herself up with rubber and a pair of
arctics and an umbrella and q neck
protector. She is too delicate for a
drop OF rain to touch her. But she'll
go out in boat on q wet day and let
the rain come down OH her and the
waves dash over her, and stand soak
ing like the hardest sailor man. There
We're four ladies once went fishing.
They selected very rainy day, and
they had their waterproof cloaks, and
head and feet covering. They were all
by themselves when they took a boat
and went to fish. 1t was in Maine.
With true feminine earnestness they
started off without anything to put the
fish in. They had an elegant time until
they caught = piokerel. When they
caught the pickerel they didn't know
what to do with it. 1t was alive and
topping, They had it in the bottom of
the boat. They wondered why it didn't
lie quiet. At last happy aud benign
thought struck one Of them. Poor
thing! It's getting all wet lying in the
rain" Aud she whipped off her water
proof and wrapped it up in it. Each of
the four caught piokerel, and each of
the four wrapped it up in her water
proof, and the rain wet them through
to the skin; but they kept their fish drv
all the same.-San Francisco Clro,a-
icle.

SOLD HIMSELF TO AN ARAB.

Remarkable Expedfent Adopted by
DR.. Junker to Get Out of Central
Africa.
Not few people have wondered how
DR.. Junker, who has just returned to
civilization from central Africa, succeed
ed in passing safely through the hos
tile tribes in the lake region. The mis-
terry is explained at last, and DR.. junk
er deserves credit for inventing an in
genious method of reducing danger to
a minimum in traversing unfriendly
parts of Africa.
Before going far from Albert Nyanza
he ascertained that there was no hope
Of his getting through the territory of
the Waganda and one or two other hos
lille tribes without aid If he was not
murdered he would at least be detained
as a prisoner. Now and then an Arab
trading caravan started for the coast,
but the Arabs were afraid to appear to
befriend him, rs they could not afford
to incur the i'll will of the native kings.
In this emergency the novel idea oc-
cured to DR.. Junker to sell himself alb
slave to one of the Arab traders A
bargain was struck, and he ostensibly
became the property of the trader The
contract stipulated that the Arab, for
the sum of 1000 Austrian dollars, was
to deliver the traveller alive at Zanibaf,
where upon the presentation of the con-
tract the money would be paid to him
by a firm doing business there. 1t hap
pened that DR.. Junker had with him an
order written in Arabic by the firm au-
thorizing him to make any desirable ar
engagements with the Arab traders of
Central Africa.
So DR.. Junker set out with his Arab
caravan, which took him straight into
the lions den. or. in other words, into
the chief town of Mwanga, the cruel
aespot Uganda. The chief trader rep
resented that Junker was not his friend
or travelling companion, but was his
slave, whom he had bought of a negro
tribe further north. In his capicty as a
slave DR.. Junker passed muster in the
court Of King M'wanga and he was
permitted to go in peace with his
owner.
Any one who had seen likeness Of
DIR. Junker, taken since his return to
Egypt can not fail to have been struck
oy the deep lines of care and anxiety
that the past seven years of life in saw
age wi.ds have stamped upon his face
AR Junker is very exceptional man,
for he has wealth, and could, if he
wished, lead a life of ease; but his de-
votion to science has lead him to denv
himself all the pleasures of civilization,
and for years subject himself to re-
markable hardships and deprivations.-

Dissolving Reichstags.

The Gar Nicholas was in the habit
of saying. my climate, my snow, my
thunderstorm. He was really of the
opinion that he owned everything in
sight and had builders lien On the
unseen world. Bismarck seems to be
pretty much of the same opinion in re-
gard to the Reichstag. 1t is his Reich
stag.
OF what use the Reichstag is except
to be dissolved, is not very apparent.
Now that Bismarck has got into the
habit of dissolving the Reichstag he
will find it very hard to break himself
of it, even if he should desire to do so,
After a while, just before retiring,
Mrs. Bismarck may say:
lotto Eduard Won Shoehausen Bis
marck, hast thou forgotten dot clock
to vind?''
II have not my dear, but 1 have for
plies the Iron Chancellor, and resuming
his garments he goes over to the Reich.
stag and dissolves it.
Occasionally it may happen that some
old friend from the country pays the
Chancellor friendly visit. After Bis
marck has shown the visitor all the
sights in and around Berlin, he will re-
mark: 'By tam! you have never seen
me dissolve Reichstag. Choost come
along NIT me-" and they 60 over and
the Reichstag comes unglued at once.
1t is to be hoped that he will not be
kept SO busy dssolving Reichstags that
he will neglect his meals, and other
household duties. He might have
telephone communication with the
speakers chair. and dissolve it by wire,
Or he might take some worthy young
man in hand and teach him how to dis
solve it.
No matter how submissive the Reich
stag may be, that will not prevent Bis
narck from dissolving it. If he wants
the Reichstag to give him the earth, he
will get mad and dissolve that legisla-
i've body because it neglected to give
aim the stars, also.
We do not presume to dictate to
Prince Bismarck, and anything we may
say is more in the nature of a sugges-
uon than of peremptory order. If
we had contract to dissolve Reich
stags we should adopt the suggestion
made by Ben Franklin to his father
when the former was boy. The elder
Franklin was in the habit of indulging
in lengthy grace before dinner, which
invariably consisted of corn beef and
cabbage.
Ben's suggestion was to the effect
that the old man go down into the eel
lar where the corn beef and cabbage
we're stored and save time by saving
grace over it in bulk, slap-dash all at
once.
Why does not Bismarck dissolve the
Reichstag for good and all, and be done
with it?-Teras SJtings.

How Railroads are Built in the Northwest.

A special dispatch from DEVILS Lake,
Dakota, gives the following interesting
account OF the mammoth railroad opera
tions westward from that place:
Nothing in railroad building heretofore
in the Northwest has approached the rapid
ity and army like system with which the
Manitoba company is sending forward ma
terial for the construction OF the Montana
line. For the past three months there
have gone through this place daily, on
an average, ITS cars laden with oil
sorts OF construction material.
At Minot the present terminus OF the
track 1877 miles West OF Devils Lake, the
company has laid something like ten miles
OF sidings to receive this material, and
along both sides OF these numerous tracks
are piled great quantities of ties. bridge
material, piles and thousands OF the best
nrality OF steel rails. Said an old rail-
''Is is worth a days travel to
see these mountains OF costly ma.
terial." And still it goes forward in in.
creasing quantities. For the past twenty
four hours the trains have averaged one in
every two hours. And it is estimated that
it will require two hundred cars daily the
entire summer OF this material to be sent
forward that there may be no delay in the
building of this great line of road. All en-

cars, and it is not an uncommon sight to
see ten OF these monster iron horses on
their return, with a single caboose car at
tached to each, speeding along the track
only few hundred yards apart. In all
this gigantic work there is no confusion
not an accident of any kind has occurred,
all material is separated and placed where
it can be reloaded and handled at
the minimum cost. The roadbed for

Parnell Appeals to America.

, Lincoln, Neb., March 29.-The following
cablegram from Mr.. Parnell was received
by President Fitzgerald, of the Irish. Amer
ican league, to-day:
The coe, cion bill proposed in the house
of commons is the eighty seventh since
years ago. 1t is also the me-
stringent, tyrannical and uncalled for byi
state OF things in Ireland. Never before has
IL coercion bill been proposed when crime
was SO rapidly decreasing as compared
with previous years. The measure is
aimed against all open agitation and ap=
pears to be expressly designed for driving
discomfort beneath the surface. 1t places
all public speakers, writer's and conductors
OF newspapers absolutely at the mercy OF
stipendiary magistrates holding their
offices at the pleasure Of the crown. Itcon-
demns the disappearing peasant OF rack
rented Kerry to the tender mercies of a pack
ed jury OF Orangemen or antiland leaguers
or a Jury OF Englishmen at the Old Bailey in
London. The Liberal party, headed by
Gladstone, stands as one man against this
measure and will fight shoulder to shoul-
der with us, in opposition to it, to the
last. It seems impossible to believe that
even the present house of commons will
continue to follow the Tory government in
their mad course, and good judges consider
the measure will break and ruin the cabi-
net We must however, prepare for the
worst; and / confidently appeal to the
American people for sympathy and sup
port which they have never withheld from

A fire in Troy, N, Y, destroyed property
